Where would that 6th gear come from?

To me a 928 CS (Club Sport) would do it. Pretty much the Great White Buffalo of the 928s.

Take out the reverse gear and put an extra forward gear for full race?

I think an early-ish 356 Roadster is my favorite. I'd love to have one of these. (if I ever had enough time, money, and garage space)

Soo Many to choose from, if I win the lottery I will need a barn to warehouse the generations or Porsche.

1949 Porsche 356 Coupe
1955 Porsche 550 Spyder
1957 Porsche 356a Roadster
1973 Porsche 911 RS
1987 Porsche 959
1997 993 Turbo S
2011 997.2 Turbo S
2012 GT3 RS 4.0

Throw in a Mayhem, RWB and Singer modified car and I think my collection would be complete.

Each one is very good looking, and equally iconic in its own right, The only way I could chose between what is on my list would be what my bank balance allows.

I think that's always the case, but I laughed at the idea that I would go without a Porsche for any period of time while I look around for a new one.
